I'm an educator by profession and passion, and a writer by intrinsic drive. My memoir, "The Lyncher in Me," was released in 2008 by Borealis Books. I've published two novels through Ig Publishing, the first ("Ash Falls") in 2017 and, most recently, "One Simple Thing" in January of 2021. While I tend to gravitate toward grit, noir, and characters "living on the fringes" in my writing and, I secretly love the absurd, the freedom to just throw out reason and write whatever I want. Specialties: International espionage, lying like a rug, emptying bottles of wine, dry sarcasm.
